Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionBANK STATEMENTS??

Hi
Thanks for ur helpful tips. We got married on June 15,2010 and i have a complete bank statements from jan 2011-present. So my question is - do i need to show them our bank statements since we got married which is 2010?

Hi Moon84,

I saw your questions about the bank statements and read the answers. In general people are not sending much in the way of bank statements.

However a thread just started between two people with RFE's related to bank statements. They are sending all bank statements since marriage and copying ALL pages. The link below will take you to the start of the thread. I wish more people would post there.

I will file in about a week.

Good Luck.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNeed :Co-Sponsor I-134 (I'm Jobless right now)

so what is the minimal amount my joint sponsor should be making and can I have more than 1 joint sponsors?

The minimal amount is 125% of the poverty line for the household size which is the joint sponsor plus beneficiary plus any additional dependents not counting you. You can get the amount for that from the I-864P form at the USCIS web site www.uscis.gov. For two people only, joint sponsor and beneficiary, the amount is $18,212 at this moment, meaning that is the 2009 figure. It might go up sometime in 2010 but do not worry about that now.

On the I-864 which is used for AOS after marrying your fiance(e), you are allowed two joint sponsors. The I-134 has no specific instructions or restrictions. Bobbhy might know if there is a restriction on the number of joint sponsors for the I-134. It would need to come from the AFM or some other source of guidance for the COs.

IMO (which is not worth much) is that it would not be good to try to use two joint sponsors for the I-134. I think that would not appear favorably.

EDITED to add a link to the I-864P poverty guidelines.

good luck

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNeed :Co-Sponsor I-134 (I'm Jobless right now)

Well if you want to get all technical. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, it isn't USCIS it's DOS at the submission of the affidavit of support.

It is true that DOS adjudicates the I-134 at the Embassy/Consulate stage. But the I-134 does not contain either of the two terms "co-sponsor" or "joint sponsor." The I-134 and I-864 Instructions and Forms are all written and printed by USCIS, unrelated to DOS."

Edited to ADD: Relax, I only mentioned this because the OP wanted to know the difference. Bobby has shown documentation I am unaware of that refers to a "co-sponsor."

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNeed :Co-Sponsor I-134 (I'm Jobless right now)

Another question is that as I was filling out the form, this area asking me for my employment do i put "N/A" Or "Unemployed"? OR "STUDENT? " Or leave it blank? Down there it also ask about properties and such, I have none of these. Do I just leave them all blank?

I do get a source of income from the government Unemployment Benefits. Do I enter that and include my tax info ? There's no area for this info. How does this work?

Omg.. This is driving me insane.

NOTE: There is no such thing as a "co-sponsor" in USCIS forms and instructions. USCIS only refers to a joint sponsor where applicable. Many people at the VJ web site use co-sponsor instead of joint sponsor because it is three less keystrokes.

1) Unemployed

2) Leave the properties and other assets blank

3) If you are receiving income in the form of unemployment insurance enter that income

4) You should include the evidence that the Consulate/Embassy requests in your Packet 3.
You should provide at least one years tax return with W-2s and 1099s unless you were not required to file. If you were not required to file, state so in a supplemental letter and why you were not required to file.

Typical evidence to accompnay an I-134 might be
Letter of Employment
Tax Returns with schedules and W-2s/1099s
Pay Stubs
A letter from bank (usually not needed)
Bank statements (usually not needed)

Again, see the Packet 3 for what you should provide.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNeed :Co-Sponsor I-134 (I'm Jobless right now)

If you fail to make a payment on your car loan, the finance company comes after YOU first. If the immigrant you sponsor collects means tested benefits in the US while the affidavit is still in effect, then the government comes after YOU first.

If the finance company cannot force you to pay the loan, then they'll go after your co-signer. If the government cannot force you to reimburse them for the means tested benefits, then they'll go after your joint sponsor. In either case, your co-signer/joint sponsor is going to be forever pissed off at you.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionpolice certificate questionh

Hey Audy_Rob, I hadn't seen that before. So, if my fiancee was born in the Soviet Union in what is today Russia but for the last 20 years (since the fall of the wall) she has only lived in and is a citizen of the Ukraine, are you saying that she does not need a police report from Russia?

Thanks, Casper

No, I am saying if you are a National of one country, and left it (like Mexico) to live in a particular country (such as South Korea), then you return to Mexico, you are not expected to get a Police Certificate because you cannot mail the South Korean government to get a police certificate.

I am using South Korea specifically because once you are outside that country, the US Government knows South Korea does not provide police certificates.

So you need to go to the Department of State web site to get the instructions for each country you lived in outside your home country. Some of those countries will not provide police certificates such as South Korea. So you are not required to provide a police certificate from South Korea.

If you now live in the Ukraine, go to the DOS web site and search for Reciprocity. Go to the Reciprocity table and select the country you had lived in before. Then scroll down to the Police Certificate information and it will say available, not available or available only to those living in the country at the time.
Audy_RobMaleThailand2010-05-04 17:26:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussionpolice certificate questionh

People in the following countries don't need to get police certificates:


Also, if you lived in a country before, you might not be required to obtain a Police Certificate from that country. So as an example, if your home country is Mexico, but you lived in South Korea before for 2 years, then you do not need a Police Certificate from South Korea as you are outside of that country now, you cannot obtain a Police certificate. You need to search the Department of State web site and check the information for each country by searching for "Reciprocity" table for the relevant country.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionTaiwan Police Certificate

my Fiance worked for six years in Taiwan;returning to Philippines in 12/08. Has anyone here had to get a police certificate from Taiwan ? How did you apply ? and most importantly;how long did it take to get it ? Thank You all so much

They do not say how long it takes. The link for the Department of State Reciprocity table for Taiwan is:

http://travel.state....ocity_3684.html

Look down the page for Police Records. A part of the posting says

Foreign Affairs Division
Taipei Municipal Police Department
No. 96, Yen Ping South Road
Taipei, Taiwan

Applicants should enclose a completed application form (available from Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Offices (TECRO) or Republic of China Embassies). There is a processing fee of US$11.00). No police certificate is available for previous residents of Taiwan who were dependents of U.S. military personnel and covered by the Status of Forces Agreement or persons living in Taiwan prior to August 1945."

The pay stubs are your best bet. I think four months should be enough to convince the adjudicator. Pay stubs are very good for documenting current pay.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Proof of support
If you meet or exceed the 125% of the Poverty Level for your household size you will not need a bank letter. Most people cannot even get a bank letter so just skip it. If you wanted to show assets, it is easier to use 12 months of bank statements than getting the bank letter.

I like you are providing a great deal of evidence to support your claims of income. Three years of taxes and three to six months pay stubs is very good. You should have no problem.

It certainly seems interesting AND relevant to some of these cases in extended AP at the Embassy where it goes beyond waiting for a name check or the Embassy/Consulate waiting for a ruling from the DoS/DHS back in the states.

Basically when the CO says they have everything, it does seem to indicate they only have 30 days to rule.

You have to be careful with these things as it can blow up in your face if they then decide to deny the Visa.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInformation Mismatch between G325A and DS-230
A faxed reply might cause more confusion then resolve the issue or the fax might not even catch up to the case file. This is not considered a material misrepresentation.

The best approach is to have your fiance(e) hand carry the corrected G-325A unsigned, Then offer it to the COnsular Officer only if this very minor issue (mistake) arises in the conversation. He/she can then sign the G-325A in front of the CO replacing the current one. This will be the least of their concerns considering the country of the fiance(e).

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Affidavit of support Questions

Thanks for the reply. They are giving me temporary checks on a weekly basis as a substitute teacher and the pay is not equivalent to full time teacher (what is stated in the contract that I have). However, this pay does meet the requirements. Should I also include some assets? Also I did my taxes through turbo-tax for the last two years ( I was a student before this) and the print-out that I have is about 15 pages per tax year. Should I include all 15 pages? It also asks for a duplicate of everything- so I don´t want to make 30 more copies of this- is there just like one or two important pages to include and the rest are not that necessary?
Sorry that´s alot of questions- but you seem like you know what you´re talking about! ;)
Thanks!

1) Please copy the temporary checks and use them with the I-134. Make a cover letter for the I-134. Briefly explain the situation Substitute -> Full-time...The checks of current and sufficient income flow will be enough. Do not show assets.
2) It sounds like you have a written contract. If you have it, please make a copy and include it along with the letter of employment they wrote for you mentioned in an earlier posting.

3) You shouldn't need that many pages of TurboTax. Use the 1040 or 1040A and the major schedules, A, B, C, and D. I do not think you need to worry about every page because Turbo Tax generates a lot of worksheets like W-2 work sheet, AMT worksheets, etc...

4) If you use the Tax Forms, rather than Tax Transcripts, please add copies of your W-2s or 1099s. Statements of income.

5) Finally, in the I-134 cover letter, state you were not required to file in the third year (2007) because you were a student with income below the threshold for filing taxes.

Good luck.

... Does this sound sufficient for the I-134? I´ll be sending in the letter and the contract.

Hi meghan, Congratulations. Sounds like a great job.

If you receive any pay stubs between now and your fiance's interview send those along also. (The pay stubs are good documentation that things are really happening as written.)

Plus at least the last year's tax form or Tax Transcript should be provided. If you were not required to file a Tax Form you need to write a letter stating the reasons you were exempt from needing to file a tax form. If you send a copy of the Tax Form, you should also provide copies of an W-2's or 1099's.

Good luck.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Affidavit of support Questions
I think it seems reasonable, that if your course is only two months long, then as AhnMap suggested, you can slow down the Embassy stage by requesting (an automatic) extension of NOA2 and delayinh the submission or preparation of your I-134. But then it becomes incumbent upon you to get a decent job right after that two month course and get up and going.

I know you might be discouraged by the delay. I also have been asked by my beneficiary fiancee to slow down the Embassy interview stage by about 2-3 months (we already have NOA2) while she completes some commitments she believes she has at her work in Thailand. Obviously she is very dedicated and responsible.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionQuestion 11 on the I-134
Yes, I do not like the answer on the Example form because you can get a 221g for it. London is also known for wanting the "I intend" answer.

The better answer that would be difficult to complain about is to check:

"I intend" and then on the lines below (do not list definite amounts or time frame as you are in it for the long haul) write something like...

"I intend" "to provide housing, food, etc...<enter other items> for beneficiary <enter name>."

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionReasons why the I-134 would cause problems...

bump

The only way to be certain is to have someone that has gone through the Japanese Embassy answer these questions.

In general, striking out, crossing out or whiting out on the forms is not acceptable.

I do not know about the fax. Is there anyway you can get your fiancee to email or call the Embassy to ask. Normally they want to see an Original I-134 with an original signature. This is where having someone that went through Tokyo would be helpful.

The best answer for Question 11 would be "I intend" and then make broad general statements rather than specific amounts and time frames. I honestly believe they cannot issue a 221g for that. A posting yesterday from the Philippines said they got a 221g for just the N/A answer because the did not check either of the two answers.

I think VJ needs to change that example form.

Nothing I wrote precludes your fiancee from being approved.

Good luck.

E-mail is definitely the best way to contact London if necessary.


Is there any truth to this statement? I remember reading a posting that suggested email is unanswered and you must call to somehow pay for a PIN or receive any service.

Bernie C is absolutely correct. Most (maybe not London) Embassies/Consulates strongly advise applicants to NOT make any definite plans such as selling property, liquidating assets nor making travel arrangements until after the interview and the Visa is in the passport.
Audy_RobMaleThailand2010-05-19 15:02:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionChanging Consulate offices
Generally I believe you can request changing the Embassy/Consulate at which you would like to interview.

The USCIS was not helpful because they have nothing to do with the process. The NVC or National Visa Center will send your petition to the Embassy/Consulate you chose (normally unless it is just plain not available for interviewing like Mexico City or Calgary). The NVC is part of the DOS which is in charge of the Embassy/Consulate interviewing process.

Please try to start contacting NVC now. It might be difficult since there is no approved petition and case number but you need to reach them before they forward the case to Saudi Arabia.

There is a Forum here at VJ labeled the National Visa Center or NVC. Maybe posting a question in that forum could get you a better answer. The other thing to do is to call the NVC now and ask when they have live operators or to call the DOS.

You can find the phone number for the NVC in the NVC forum. Also try calling the DOS to try to have your case rerouted.

Good luck

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 and Income
Hopefully you have kept every pay stub you have received from this year.

1) Using your current rate of earnings for this year is perfectly acceptable and actually preferred. It would not be a misrepresentationn of any form. So take the amount you have earned so far, and extrapolate (estimate the amount) for the full year's earnings. With the paystubs you can document this income. With your prior years teax returns you won't be able to document the currnt years income.

2) Include however many years of tax returns you have (up tio three years) for documentation sake.

3) The letter from the employer won't do much to document what you will earn this year. If you are a college student, you will have a difficult time continuing to earn at that rate or keep up decent grades in school. One of the two might have to give. Your fiance(e) might receive the I-134 back requesting an explanation (221g) of how you will continue to support him/her while you are in school.

4) You might want to consider finding a joint sponsor. You would need to determine if the Embassy/Consulate where you fiance(e) will interview accepts a joint sponsor. I think most do but Southeast Asia typically does not.

5) When you do marry and file for AOS, you will need to go through this again with the I-864.

1) Yes, you need to include the Au pair job and the student living time. You do not need to get a police certificate from the US for that time though. The Embassy/Consulate has their ways to get this information.

2) If it is a K-1, then you only need Part I

3) This and question 4 are Consulate/Embassy dependent. If you did not receive more specific instructions in Packet 3, then you should follow the instructions on the web site. Generally, you are correct in that you send in the originals or copies of the forms, and bring your docs and other evidence to the interview. If you send in copies of your forms, which is what my Embassy recommends, then you need to bring the originals to the interview.

4) You should send a copy of your Birth Certificate and a copy of the name page and photo from your passport. Whether they ask for it or not. Your Embassy or COnsulate does not require DS-157 ??? That is possible because a few do not request it. You should double check.
I would include a copy of the I-134 and evidence copies. This way they can check-it before the interview.

For the interview bring originals of Birth Certificate, your USC fiance(e)'s docs like BC and Divorce Decree. Bring the original of any forms like the I-134 and all the evidence originals. They probably won't ask but they can ask for any of that.

I didn't include the child support on my 2009 tax return because I wasn't getting regular payments until 2010,

Child support is not taxable to the recipient and would not be added to income on your tax forms. Similarly child support payments are NOT tax deductible to the payor and cannot be deducted from income.

Alimony or spousal support payments if structured as a regular ongoing payment can be deducted by the payor and must be claimed by the payee. A lump sum payment as in a settlement is not a tax event.

Yes, this seems very unusual. It seems as the Consulate is trying to act as a Custody Evaluator to determine if she should have custody of the child and be allowed to take the child to the USA.

What should matter is if she has the legal custody of the child by a court order or legal agreement with the ex-husband and if she has the right to take the child out of the country.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNervous after reading VJ post
The facts are different, some better, some worse.

There is a very high probability that the same interviewing CO isn't even in that station or if she is, has moved to a different section. They rotate quite a bit as it is difficult to continue the same line of work every day for a year like that.

Never the less, do take it as a serious hint that your fiance(e) will be put under great scrutiny and prepare him/her for the interview. Make sure he can explain the age gap, is it a big deal for you, for him, etc... Make sure the circumstances of meeting are fully consistent between documentation and what he/she answers at the interview, etc...

Help your fiancee prepare. Finally, if you can be there the day of the interview, that can be enough to push it over the approval line. Even if the Embassy does not permit the USC to be present at the interview, gopy the name and photo page of your passport, your boarding passes and visa stamps and give them to the Embassy as proof of ongoing relationship. The Embassy will know you are there for him/her.

Good luck

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Questions

Good afternoon everyone,
My fiance and I are in the final stages of finishing up our Packet 3 from the consulate, but before we ship off everything I have a question about the I-134, specifically about my co-sponsor. I have asked my brother to co-sponsor for me and he agreed. He is single and his salary alone is well above the 125% mark. Firstly, on question 3 of the I-134 I know we have to put my fiance's info in there, but we have a daughter together, who is already a US Citizen, do we have to list my daughter in question 3 for child to accompany/follow even though she is a US citizen? Second on question 11 do either of us have to mark any of the boxes, or as I have seen on other questions, can we not mark any of them and put "N/A (K1 visa process for permanent residence)"? Appreciate any feed back. Cheers.

The US Citizen daughter is not following as in a K-2 derivative visa. You do not list her. She should be listed on the DS-230, DS-156, DS-156K etc... only when it asks for ALL children of the Alien Beneficiary. Not in the section on children to accpmpany or follow as the daughter does not need a visa.

Question 11 is a big puzzle around here because every Embassy/Consulate wants something different andd you have a joint sponsor.

Both you and the joint sponsor MUST answer 11 the same. Last week there was a posting where the N/A answer alone was rejected because neither box was checked.

The safest answer (without any specific time frames or amounts mentioned) that would be almost impossible for the CO to refuse is BOTH you and the joint sponsor fill out - "I intend"...
Then you on the three lines write "to provide food, housing, <other, etc...> for beneficiary <enter name>."

Then the joint sponsor writes "to supplement as necessary food, housing, <other etc...> for beneficiary <enter name>."

Good luck.
